General:

Feije Duim, “Interval 3.3”, 2021, performative installation, 300 x 350 x 400 cm.

The installation Interval 3 is the third of four works reflecting on COVID 19 quarantine, our online presences / non presences and framing. The excessive use of social media promotes framing.

We discard and mock persons who are not a clone of the ideal type that we have in mind and put them away as inferior. We also frame ourselves, but then positively, creating an ideal image of ourselves online. And Corona with its lockdowns, by making it difficult to meet real life, makes it worse. 

But who am I, or who are we then really? Are you really out there, or did we become only shadows, frames? If I frame you, or you frame me, can we still relate online, offline?  

The imagery of the monoprints on the wall shouts these questions to the observer. The garland of blood-red-painted empty frames hanging from the ceiling does it. The hanging clothes without a person in it shows it. When the performer steps into the scene and takes on the empty clothes, his words will cry it out.
